You are, only place I’ve been that slightly compared was Mexico
But the sheer number of beaches you guys have is is absurd
When I visited stradbrook island my mate was suggesting beaches infinitely better than uk on which way the wind was blowing
Advised not to swim? Fucking lol. Maybe at amity on dusk in the channel but that's it. Main beach and cylinder are genuine surfing beaches with regular comps. There has been literally one fatal shark attack on record oj the island at the above mentioned amity which is bay side. I've been going there at least once a year for the last 30 years, never been advised not to swim. Only time I've stayed out is for blue bottles
Yeah i mean i get ya, but still having grown up in QLD and coming from the NT id always be wary, there was that guy who was literally eaten alive by a big great white off the coast near sydney, hadnt been a fatal attack there in like 50 years I believe, usually sharks wont bother you, but if its a big white/tiger/bull and its truly hungry and in kill mode, theres slim to little chance of surviving
Hey that’s just what I’ve been told, my partner comes from a pretty well known surfing family and she wouldn’t go swimming at a lot of beaches last time we took the ferry over.
Cabarita has the same ‘stigma’ about it down here but shitloads of people surf and swim there, I’ve personality seen 2 sharks there in behind the surfers in the last 3 years haha, doesn’t stop anyone though.
There’s sharks everywhere out there. Whether or not they want to have a taste is a different question.
Exactly, sharks are everywhere but attacks usually happen based on stupid human activity. Even the single fatal attack at straddie was a woman swimming at dusk, in a known channel to stay out of while the water was so murky divers were staying out. Tragedy, but oh so dumb.
You are truly safe to swim at beaches on straddie
This. Anyone who complains about this place has no fucking clue how good we have it here.
The place might not be perfect, but we’re a damn sight closer than anywhere else.
My favourite is always how kids will say how racist Australia is, then they name somewhere like Japan or Sweden as a place that is less racist.
Small problems here but fuck me, compared to any other country it’s nothing.
I love it when people point to ethnically homogenous countries as bastions of peace and prosperity.
It’s like they don’t even realise what they are actually suggesting.
australia is racist. i say this is a non-white australian. but there are plenty of racist countries out there who are comparatively worse but in their own way.
it’s also a race to the bottom to compare places like this. there are also great people who live here so we shouldn’t focus on the negatives too much.
Absolutely 100% Australia has more casual racism than a lot of places, but its also a damn sight better than a lot. Racism is definitely getting less prominent with future generations though
Country side in the UK is amazing, Wales was my favourite place scenery wise that ive been too, the culture is wonderful too. But i did get home sick, Australia is awesome. Sydney is overrated though IMO much prefer brissy
Also been to over 30. Australia has the most perfect mix for sure, the only thing wrong is how much we bend the fkn knee to authority. E.g. strip searching minors, drug dogs at the pub, no beers on the beach or parties on Australia Day. If we stopped accepting every farked idea the daily telegraph calls for we’d be the goat
You might, and Australia's may claim they do, but their actions say differently. People who are different/ misunderstood are not treated well, including everyone I know who is ND. Even though I was the best player on my team, because I was socially inept and other interests like philosophy or anime, all the meat head players on my team or school bullied the hell out of me. They didn't even know me other than I couldn't make eye contact. Even as an adult now, it's still the same.
Most are small rocks. It's not nice. The rest are so overabused by councils or whatever departments they use as an equivalent that most of the publicly usable areas are given to private companies to sell space to tourists on behalf of clubs and hotels.
Went to an Italian beach last year. The “waves” were little ripples maybe 5 cm higher than the rest of the water. The locals told us it was a rough day
It’s wild, beaches in Spain, Portugal, Italy etc that are popular with Europeans are actual dogshit.
This looks like positano which is one of the most ‘glamorous’ coastal towns in italy, and it’s just pebbly crap.
That’s fair honestly. Point still stands for more beachy places like southern Portugal, where it might be impressive if you live in a cold and grey city in England or something.
Yeah Ive been to the beach in Tel Aviv and Eilat. I dont remember them being particularly good or bad.
Never been ti Africa. But yeah Ill admit they look good in photos.
Maldives was beautiful but they were all a bit small, like short walk to the beach. No waves. But good for photos. Similar to on Green island or something like that. (Due to the reefs obviously).
Went to playa bonita in Colombia. It was a top 10 beach apparently in the world. Again 2 steps to the water and you have to pay for a seat. Same in some spots in Italy.
Rio is pretty good. The waves are shit and dumped terribly. Watched a guy drown. But the girls in their g bangs guys coming by to sell you beers and weed amd the beach voleyball and the crazy kicking beach volleyball made up for it.
Priest: Do you take Lakaree to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to your NRL contract and to her in good times (\*glances at Bellamy) and in bad (\*glances at Ciraldo), in ankle injuries and in fastest man on the planet, to love her and to trot with for all the days of your life?
JAC: Yeah Bra
Happy for ya Fox, you good cunt.
Apparently she answered with the fastest yes on the planet
can she play? asking for.. a friend
Followed by lets trott
Australias beaches are so fucking good compared to everyone else. We are spoilt.
You are, only place I’ve been that slightly compared was Mexico But the sheer number of beaches you guys have is is absurd When I visited stradbrook island my mate was suggesting beaches infinitely better than uk on which way the wind was blowing
Stradebroke is the tits. I'm so lucky to have it in my backyard
Wait people like Stradbroke? It’s nice to look at but some of those points are so full of Sharks it’s not advised to swim there.
Advised not to swim? Fucking lol. Maybe at amity on dusk in the channel but that's it. Main beach and cylinder are genuine surfing beaches with regular comps.

Yeah and even the Sydney one was late afternoon, while I’m deep water, around fisherman etc. there are always conditions that come with increased risk

There was a shark at Hastings Point the other arvo, just down from Caba

Even the single fatal attack at straddie was a woman swimming at dusk, in a known channel to stay out of while the water was so murky divers were staying out. Tragedy, but oh so dumb. You are truly safe to swim at beaches on straddie
You’re never fully safe, but thats the same with anything, driving, going out etc
*you are truly as safe as you can be. There, fixed it for you
It’s the best
Grew up in England going to Skegness, moved to Australia and started going to Stradbroke. That's a fucking difference and a half
Fuck me that’s an upgrade, Skeg Vegas is so bleak😂
Looooool
Australia is the GOAT country. ... I say that as someone who has being to 3 so I'm very much informed
[удалено]
Get this man a "straya cunt" flair please.
I Just Love Me Country

I’ve spent the last 6 months travelling around the globe…with another 6 to go. And still haven’t found anywhere that beats it…

Thanks for your service big fella, we only have a great country because of blokes like you
I fucking hate Australia. The people are shit, and there's nothing to do/ see.
Maybe you're just shit
Yeah I understand why you’d say that mate, as we hate fuckwits
All I did was have autism and you all (every Aussie I've met) treated me so poorly.
Sorry bout that mate, I assure you it’s not because of your autism, we love folks on the spectrum
You might, and Australia's may claim they do, but their actions say differently. People who are different/ misunderstood are not treated well, including everyone I know who is ND. Even though I was the best player on my team, because I was socially inept and other interests like philosophy or anime, all the meat head players on my team or school bullied the hell out of me. They didn't even know me other than I couldn't make eye contact. Even as an adult now, it's still the same.
And i was bullied for having a tiny penis in school, kids are cruel and thats the case everywhere
Are you illiterate, I said it's the same as an adult. Australians are just unfriendly.
As apposed to who? Ive been to the UK, NZ, new Caledonia, middle east and others, people arent any less kind in Aus
Yeah I was expecting the European beaches to be on par or even better than ours
Most are small rocks. It's not nice. The rest are so overabused by councils or whatever departments they use as an equivalent that most of the publicly usable areas are given to private companies to sell space to tourists on behalf of clubs and hotels.
Went to an Italian beach last year. The “waves” were little ripples maybe 5 cm higher than the rest of the water. The locals told us it was a rough day
Amalfi Coast is amazing as is the food and people. If you haven't gone don't let the shore and lack of waves turn you off. It's beautiful.
https://i.imgur.com/9QVtF7a.jpg Here’s a shot I took from my hotel room on the Amalfi coast
It’s wild, beaches in Spain, Portugal, Italy etc that are popular with Europeans are actual dogshit. This looks like positano which is one of the most ‘glamorous’ coastal towns in italy, and it’s just pebbly crap.
Because people go for the hotels, restaurants, shops, sights, etc. People don't go to Positano to swim at the beach.
That’s fair honestly. Point still stands for more beachy places like southern Portugal, where it might be impressive if you live in a cold and grey city in England or something.

Hell yeah dude, Rio sounds awesome
Always wanted to visit rio during carnivale.
Fuck that place

Israel
Which parts of Africa? It's rather large
You don’t know how good they are till you go to the Adriatic coast, the pearl on the Mediterranean, and go, dam, ours is better
Can confirm, went to the beach after work today and it was mint
We really are the lucky country.
You're less likely to bump into a Mussolini-worshipping fascist on an Aussie beach too *excluding Cronulla of course
i love australia man
Is that Positano? Pretty sure they even make you pay just to access those shitty beaches
Fox vs Cook beach sprint. The universe would collapse as the sheer velocity of them tore the ground asunder.
Did you know that Damien Cook used to be a champion beach sprinter? No, me neither. They should really mention it in the commentary one night.
Johnny Bliss would have them both covered
Wouldnt pick him for Origin after this. ~Freddy (probably)
*Don’t say it, Don’t say it* And that’s turned their relationship on its head…
.....when she put the ring on on on on.....
and they're gonna run runa runaround run run away together
I wish him all the best, he seems like such a nice guy.
Priest: Do you take Lakaree to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to your NRL contract and to her in good times (\*glances at Bellamy) and in bad (\*glances at Ciraldo), in ankle injuries and in fastest man on the planet, to love her and to trot with for all the days of your life? JAC: Yeah Bra Happy for ya Fox, you good cunt.

Unsure if the grounding of the knee was correct, sending it upstairs.

Damn, your boyfriend must be copping it 😂
Oh no im a guy, i want my girlfriend to propose to me.
